  Says me!  Rar!  I thought we only still supported it because PyUnit had
it.  In any case, it *is* bound to the same function as failUnless, so it
makes no practical difference, and I'm certainly not the authority for
Trial.  Multiple spellings for the same thing sucks, though, and given a
choice between the two, I'd pick failUnless() any day.

A disciple of another sect once came to Drescher as he was eating his
morning meal. "I would like to give you this personality test," said the
outsider, "because I want you to be happy." Drescher took the paper that was
offered him and put it into the toaster: "I wish the toaster to be happy, 
too."
